This Algebra II discovery activity helps students analyze graphs of quadradic functions written in vertex form. Students investigate how changing a, h, and k affect the graphs of parabolas. This activity was created by Caleb Wiles for his Algebra 2 unit on Quadratic Functions and Inequalities.

I rewrote the lyrics to the popular song "Shake It" by Metro Station for my Algebra I students. The new words describe the process of graphing lines and linear inequalities. My singing voice leaves a lot to be desired, but the math content is solid and the kids thought it was hilarious! The students had a BLAST making the music video.
